Fujifilm X-Pro3 vs Pentax Q10

Let's look more closely at the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Pentax Q10, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies FujiFilm and Pentax. There is a huge difference among the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm X-Pro3 (26MP) and Q10 (12MP) and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 (APS-C) and Q10 (1/2.3") boast different sensor dimensions.

Pentax 17 Pre-Orders Outperform Expectations by a Landslide

The Fujifilm X-Pro3 was introduced 7 years later than the Q10 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving into a complete comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the Fujifilm X-Pro3 matches up against the Q10 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Pentax Q10. The whole galleries are available at Fujifilm X-Pro3 Gallery and Pentax Q10 Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera, you are going to need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 offers outer measurements of 141mm x 83mm x 46mm (5.6" x 3.3" x 1.8") along with a weight of 497 grams (1.10 lbs) whilst the Pentax Q10 has measurements of 102mm x 58mm x 34mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 1.3") accompanied by a weight of 200 grams (0.44 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are working with at that moment. Here is a front view measurement comparison of the Fujifilm X-Pro3 against the Q10.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Q10 is 78 and 92 respectively.

Generally, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through technical specs. The graphic below might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and Q10.

As you can tell, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm X-Pro3 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Fujifilm X-Pro3 will render more detail using its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm X-Pro3 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
